To secure the prompt payment and performance to Buyer of all of the Obligations, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a continuing lien upon and security interest in all of Seller's now existing or hereafter arising rights and interest in the Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired, or arising, and wherever located. Any security interest shall be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Buyer may place a "hold" on any deposit account pledged as Collateral. Seller is not a party to, nor is bound by, any license or other agreement with respect to which the Seller is the licensee that prohibits or otherwise restricts Seller from granting a security interest in Seller's interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Without prior consent from Buyer, Seller shall not enter into, or become bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a material impact on Seller's business or financial condition. Seller shall take such steps as Buyer requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed "Collateral" and for Buyer to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future. Seller is not authorized to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any Collateral without Buyer's prior written consent, except for the sale of finished inventory in the Seller's usual course of business. Seller agrees to sign UCC 10 financing statements, in a form acceptable to Buyer, and any other instruments and documents requested by Buyer to evidence, perfect, or protect the interests of Buyer in the Purchased Receivables and the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement. Seller agrees to deliver to Buyer the originals of all instruments, chattel paper and documents evidencing or related to Purchased Receivables and Collateral. 9. Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. (A) Seller fails to pay any amount owed to Buyer as and when due; (B) There shall be commenced by or against Seller any voluntary or involuntary case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or appointment of a receiver or custodian for any of its assets; (C) Seller is generally not paying its debts as they become due; (D) Any involuntary lien, garnishment, attachment or the like is issued against or attaches to the Purchased Receivables or any Collateral, or the service of process upon Buyer seeking to attach, by mesne or trustee process any funds of Seller on deposit with Buyer; (E) Seller shall breach any covenant, agreement, warranty, or representation set forth herein, it shall constitute an immediate default hereunder; (F) Seller is not in compliance with, or otherwise is in default under, any term of any document, instrument or agreement evidencing a debt, obligation or liability of any kind or character of Seller, now or hereafter existing, in favor of Buyer or any division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank, regardless of whether such debt, obligation or liability is direct or indirect, primary or secondary, joint, several or joint and several, or fixed or contingent, together with any and all renewals and extensions of such debts, obligations and liabilities, or any part thereof; (G) An event of default shall occur under any guaranty executed by any guarantor (if any) of the Obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement, or any material provision of any such guaranty shall for any reason cease to be valid or enforceable or any such guaranty shall be repudiated or terminated, including by operation of law; (H) A Material Adverse Change occurs; (I) A default or event of default shall occur under any agreement between Seller and any creditor of Seller that has entered into a subordination agreement with Buyer; or (J) Any creditor that has entered into a subordination agreement with Buyer shall breach any of the terms of or not comply with such subordination agreement. 10. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (1) without implying any obligation to buy Receivables, Buyer may cease buying Receivables or extending any financial accommodations to Seller; (2) all or a portion of the Obligations shall be, at the option of and upon demand by Buyer, or with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 9(B), automatically and without notice or demand, due and payable in full; (3) Buyer may apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Seller it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Buyer owing to or for the credit or the account of Seller; (4) Buyer shall have and may exercise all the rights and remedies under this Agreement and under applicable law, including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code, all the power of attorney rights described in Section 5 with respect to all Collateral, and the right to collect, dispose of, sell, lease, use, and realize upon all Purchased Receivables and all Collateral in any commercial reasonable manner; and (5) Buyer may make any payments and do any acts it considers 11 necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Seller shall assemble the Collateral if Buyer requests and make it available as Buyer designates. Buyer may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Seller grants Buyer a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Buyer's rights or remedies. Seller and Buyer agree that any notice of sale required to be given to Seller shall be deemed to be reasonable if given five (5) days prior to the date on or after which the sale may be held. In the event that the Obligations are accelerated hereunder, Seller shall repurchase all of the Purchased Receivables as set forth in Section 4.4. 11. Accrual of Interest; Demand Waiver. If any amount owed by Seller hereunder is not paid when due, including, without limitation, amounts due under Section 3, Repurchase Amounts, amounts due under Section 12, and any other Obligations, such amounts shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the per annum rate of the Finance Charges until the earlier of (i) payment in good funds or (ii) entry of a final judgment thereof, at which time the principal amount of any money judgment remaining unsatisfied shall accrue interest at the highest rate allowed by applicable law. Seller waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guaranties held by Buyer on which Seller is liable. 12. Fees, Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. The Seller shall pay to Buyer immediately upon demand all fees, costs and expenses (including fees of attorneys and professionals and their costs and expenses) that Buyer incurs or may from time to time impose in connection with any of the following: (a) preparing, negotiating, administering, and enforcing this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection herewith, including any amendments, waivers or consents in connection with any of the foregoing, (b) any litigation or dispute (whether instituted by Buyer, Seller or any other Person) in any way relating to the Purchased Receivables, the Collateral, this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith, (c) enforcing any rights against Seller or any guarantor, or any Account Debtor, (d) protecting or enforcing its interest in the Purchased Receivables or the Collateral, (e) collecting the Purchased Receivables and the Obligations, and (f) the representation of Buyer in connection with any bankruptcy case or insolvency proceeding involving Seller, any Purchased Receivable, the Collateral, any Account Debtor, or any guarantor. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its officers, employees, and agents against: (a) obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) losses or expenses incurred, or paid by Buyer from or consequential to transactions between Buyer and Seller (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses). 13. Severability; Waiver; Amendments in Writing; Integration. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by reason of law, this Agreement shall be construed as not containing such provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Buyer retains all of its rights, even if it makes an Advance after an Event of Default. If Buyer waives an Event of Default, it may enforce a later Event of Default. Any consent or waiver under, or amendment of, this Agreement must be in writing. Nothing contained herein, or any action taken or not taken by Buyer at any time, shall be construed at any time to be indicative of any obligation or willingness on the part of Buyer to amend this Agreement or to grant to Seller any waivers or consents. This Agreement is the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersedes prior negotiations or agreements. 14. Account Collection Services. Certain Account Debtors may require or prefer that all of Seller's Receivables be paid to the same address and/or party, or Seller and Buyer may agree that all Receivables with respect to certain Account Debtors be paid to one party. In such event Buyer and Seller may agree that Buyer shall collect all Receivables whether owned by Seller or Buyer and (provided that there does not then exist an Event of Default or event that with notice, lapse or time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, and subject to Buyer's rights in the Collateral) Buyer agrees to remit to Seller the amount of the Receivables collections it receives with respect to Receivables other than Purchased Receivables. It is understood and agreed by Seller that this Section does not impose any affirmative duty on Buyer to do any act other than to turn over such amounts. All such Receivables and collections are Collateral and in the event of Seller's default hereunder, Buyer shall have no duty to remit collections of Collateral and may apply such collections to the obligations hereunder and Buyer shall have the rights of a secured party under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code. 12 15. Notices. All notices shall be given to Buyer and Seller at the addresses or faxes set forth on the first page of this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been delivered and received: (a) if mailed, three (3) calendar days after deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage pre-paid, (b) one (1) calendar day after deposit with an overnight mail or messenger service; or (c) on the same date of confirmed transmission if sent by hand delivery, telecopy, telefax or telex. 16. Choice of Law, Venue and Jury Trial Waiver. This Agreement shall be construed, governed, and enforced pursuant to the laws (without regard to conflict of law principles) of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Seller and Buyer each submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE BUYER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE SELLER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH THE BUYER DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE THE BUYER'S RIGHTS AGAINST THE SELLER OR ITS PROPERTY. SELLER AND BUYER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL. 17. Termination. Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any termination of this Agreement shall not affect Buyer's security interest in the Collateral and Buyer's ownership of the Purchased Receivables, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective, and Buyer's rights and remedies hereunder shall survive such termination, until all transactions entered into and Obligations incurred hereunder or in connection herewith have been completed and satisfied in full. 18. Titles and Section Headings. The titles and section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. 19. Other Agreements. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not adversely affect the rights of Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank under any other document, instrument or agreement. The terms of such other documents, instruments and agreements shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any other document, instrument or agreement between Seller on the one hand, and Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank on the other hand, Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion which provision shall apply. Seller acknowledges specifically that any security agreements, liens and/or security interests currently securing payment of any obligations of Seller owing to Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank also secure Seller's obligations under this Agreement, and are valid and subsisting and are not adversely affected by execution of this Agreement. Seller further acknowledges that (a) any collateral under other outstanding security agreements or other documents between Seller and Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank secures the obligations of Seller under this Agreement and (b) a default by Seller under this Agreement constitutes a default under other outstanding agreements between Seller and Buyer or any other division or affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank. 20. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of successors and permitted assigns of each party. Seller may not assign this Agreement or any rights under it without Buyer's prior written consent which may be granted or withheld in Buyer's discretion. Buyer may, without the consent of or notice to Seller, sell, transfer, or grant participation in any part of Buyer's obligations, rights or benefits under this Agreement. 21. Right of Set-Off. Seller and any guarantor hereby grant to Buyer, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all Obligations to Buyer, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Buyer or any 13 entity under the control of Silicon Valley Bank or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Buyer may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Seller and any guarantor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE SELLER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. 22. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for performance of all obligations in this Agreement. 23. Application of Funds. Seller agrees that any disposition of the Collateral in violation of this Agreement, by either the Seller or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Buyer under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code. 24. Counterpart. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts and when executed and delivered are one Agreement. 25. Remedies Cumulative. Buyer's rights and remedies under this Agreement, or any other documents, instruments and agreement by and between Seller and Buyer are cumulative. Buyer has all rights and remedies provided under the Massachusetts Uniform Commercial Code, by law, or in equity. Buyer's exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Buyer's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Buyer's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Buyer and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given. 26. Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in force while any Purchased Receivable amount remains outstanding. Seller's indemnification obligations survive until all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Buyer have run. 27. Confidentiality. Buyer shall use the same degree of care handling Seller's confidential information that it uses for its own confidential information, but may disclose information; (i) to its Subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their business with Seller, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Agreement, (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with an examination or audit and (v) as it considers appropriate exercising the remedies under this Agreement. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (a) in the public domain or in Buyer's possession when disclosed, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Buyer; or (b) disclosed to Buyer by a third party, if Buyer does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. 14 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Seller and Buyer have executed this Agreement as a sealed instrument under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on the day and year above written.
